thanks erich. looks like i'm running 1.9.2:
BusyBox v1.9.2 (2008-04-12 21:55:14 UTC) multi-call binary

should be the one that came with the 3.1 release of leaf. since i'm booting from the cd, i used the initrd_ide_cd.lrp (renamed to initrd.lrp) - could that have something to do with it?

looking at the inittab file, its a _lot_ different from our old leaf boxes! the lines its complaing about are the only non-commented lines in the file (except for two tty lines), and they look like:
::sysinit:/etc/init.d/rcS
::wait:/etc/init.d/rc 2
::restart:/sbin/init
::shutdown:/etc/init.d/rc 0

shouldn't there be a lot more in this file?
thanks again
